    Abstract: A foot-rest structure for the driving side of the floor of a motor vehicle comprises a foot-rest support, secured to the floor panel of the motor vehicle, a covering element mounted on the foot-rest support, and a lateral trim panel having a front edge connected to the covering element. The foot-rest support is constituted by a three-dimensional body made of plastic material, defining a three-dimensional volume projecting from the floor panel, adjacent to the lateral trim panel, and having an inclined front surface, a top surface, and at least one lateral surface, which faces the inside of the passenger compartment of the motor vehicle. The covering element is constituted by a body made of plastic material, which is arranged over the foot-rest support and has an inclined front wall arranged over the inclined front surface of the foot-rest support and defining a foot-rest surface, and a top wall and a side wall arranged over the top surface and the at least one lateral surface, respectively, of the foot-rest support. The covering element and the foot-rest support are provided with engagement elements and seats cooperating with the engagement elements for their mutual rigid connection. The front edge of the lateral trim panel is connected only to the covering element, without any direct connection to the foot-rest support. The covering element has the inclined front wall that, on a side edge thereof facing the lateral trim panel, forms a channel in which the front edge of the lateral trim panel is received, the front edge of the lateral trim panel and the channel having engagement elements and seats cooperating with the engagement elements for rigid connection of the lateral trim panel to the covering element.
